Our Services
At the core of Gennady Yagupov’s offering is a streamlined, high-precision custom 3D printing service tailored to your exact requirements. From a one-off prototype to full production runs, the following services are available:
1. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
The most common and affordable technique for functional plastic prototypes and end-use parts. FDM printing is available in a wide range of materials, including ABS, PLA, PETG, and carbon fiber-reinforced blends.
2. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Perfect for strong, durable nylon parts with complex geometries. SLS is ideal for engineering-grade components without the need for support structures.
3. Stereolithography (SLA)
Known for ultra-smooth finishes and high resolution. SLA is used for detailed miniatures, precision molds, and intricate visual models.
4. Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
Gennady Yagupov’s metal printing service enables production in stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and other metals. This is the technology behind aerospace parts, biomedical devices, and high-performance machinery.
5. CNC Post-Processing & Finishing
After printing, parts can be sanded, vapor-smoothed, anodized, powder-coated, or electroplated. Additional CNC machining is available for critical tolerances.
6. 3D Design & File Preparation
Need help converting an idea into a printable file? CAD services are available to develop 3D models from sketches, descriptions, or 2D drawings.

🧑🏫 Beginner’s Guide to 3D Printing
New to 3D printing? Start here.
Whether you’re a student, an artist, or a first-time product developer, this beginner-friendly guide will help you understand how to get the best results from Yagupov’s 3D Printing Workshop. With just a few principles in mind, you can confidently take your digital design from screen to real-world object.
Before a design can be printed, it must be saved in a 3D-printable file format. The most common formats we accept are:
- .STL – The standard for most 3D printing (triangulated mesh).
- .OBJ – Includes colour and texture data (ideal for visual models).
- .STEP / .IGES – Preferred for engineering models and assemblies.
Tips for exporting:
- Check units – make sure your model is in millimetres.
- Ensure the model is watertight (no holes or non-manifold edges).
- Orient the model as you’d like it printed.
- Use a fine mesh resolution, but not excessively dense (keeps file size manageable).
Not sure how to export from your software? Our team can assist with formats from Fusion 360, Rhino, Blender, SolidWorks, Tinkercad, and more.
While 3D printing opens up endless possibilities, it comes with a few technical boundaries:
- Minimum wall thickness: For most plastic prints, this is 1-2 mm. Metal printing requires slightly more.
- Overhangs: Unsupported angles beyond ~45° may require supports (depending on the process).
- Hollow objects: Can be printed to save material, but need escape holes for excess powder or resin.
- Build volume: Our largest print bed is 300mm x 300mm x 400mm. Larger objects may be split and assembled.
If you’re unsure whether your design is printable, we offer a free pre-check and feedback.
Designing parts that fit together? Keep mechanical tolerances in mind:
- For snap fits, leave 0.3–0.6 mm of clearance.
- For tight mechanical assemblies, use 0.1–0.2 mm, depending on the material and process.
- For press fits, let us know – certain plastics can be post-processed for ultra-precise fits.
We’ll help you adjust your models if needed for functionally snug or smooth mating parts.
Here are a few rookie errors we see often and how to avoid them:
- Floating parts: All geometry must be connected; separate shells won’t print correctly.
- Too-small text: For embossed or debossed features, stick to fonts at least 8 pt in size.
- Thin wires or unsupported posts: These may break or droop during printing. Increase thickness or add support.
- Ignoring orientation: Print orientation affects strength and surface quality. We can optimise it for you.
